Oakville Grill and Cellar: A Perfect Night Out My experience at Oakville Grill and Cellar was nothing short of amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—I couldn’t get enough of the hamachi crudo. Every bite felt like it was made with care and top-quality ingredients. The service truly stood out. Our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They even helped us pick the perfect wine to go with our meal, which took the experience to another level. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and service that makes you feel like a VIP, Oakville Grill and Cellar is it. I’m already planning my next visit!

First of all I thought the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming! We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it feel special. The rigatoni really stood out and will be a must order for us in the future - it had the perfect level of spice and warmth in flavor. The chips and dip were a fun appetizer to start with and were priced perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

I was so happy we were able to get in last minute. We looked at reservations for tonight around 11 am, the only thing available was 9:15. Maybe 45 minutes later a 6:45 pops up and we were able to snag it. We had the short rib humus, whipped feta, hamachi, pork belly, steak & frites, fried halloumi and two kabobs. Perfect for all 4 of us hungry eaters. 100% will be back- if you can get in I highly recommend trying anything and everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. Food was courses perfectly and everything came out hot right out of the oven. If you have been to Bavel in LA you will love this “sister” in Chicago

Always excellent! For starters, please try the yellowfin tuna. For dinner we always get the spinalis (rib eye cap) and it’s amazing!! Honorable mention: fresh chip, onion dip and caviar starter! Amazing!
